The video will be a part of my "Top 3 Videos of the Week". The best.
The trailer looks great--very professional! I'll share the links around the web-o-sphere.
Always great to see more information getting out about the value of new media. Two items of possible interest to you and your readers:
1) The Word Made Fresh: Communicating Church and Faith Today (Morehouse, 2008). My book about how church communications is a *ministry* and needs to be understood as such.
2) #chsocm (Church Social Meda) is the hashtag for a new tweet chat starting Tuesday, July 12 at 9:00 PM (EDT). It is intentionally ecumenical -- just like new media allows us to be!
Brent and Devin: Thanks guys! You both know how much I appreciate your support and brotherhood.
Meredith: Thanks for the links! I'll have to check out your book and try out the new hashtag.
WOW! Brandon, just the endorsers alone makes it a home run! Well done indeed!
Congrats Brandon! I'll be posting an update to the linkedin group for the Association of Catholics Exploring Social Media. Lookin good!!!
